"Hi Becky,
Just jotting off a quick email to say that it has been a complete pleasure to work with Jerry and Jessie. My website should be finished soon and they have both made every effort to make it wonderful.

   HAPPY 4th of July! I love this holiday. What a great opportunity to be with friends and family to celebrate our national birthday. Hope you day was full of fireworks and sparkle.

 

We are also celebrating the school's 5th birthday... Hoo-ray!!! For this special occasion, we are offering 2 special gifts:

 

1. A "What's New on the Staging Front" teleseminar. No charge for my VIP subscribers. If you are reading this, you are on my A-list. All others are $19. So tune in to the call to hear the great news about all the latest staging opportunities available. There is yet another untapped business opportunity under the staging umbrella. You will flip when you hear about this. We'll share the "how to" and much more. All you need is a phone. If you send a "yes" e-mail to me, I'll send you a reminder e-mail. becky@beckyharmon.com  

 

The number is 213-342-3000 and the access code is 884624. It is Monday, July 11th at 8:00PM EDT. Please join us for some fireworks and enthusiasm.

 

2. Our popular new Online Staging Certification Class is offering a BOGO-Buy One Get One- for a short time only. You must register by July 31st. This

7-hour class is still at the introductory price of $750. If you bring a friend, they

 are free. So basically, it would be $375 each. Wow! This is for our August and September classes.

 

The class includes 7 DVD's, 5 CD's, a new space-planning kit and

comprehensive manual. An added bonus is an additional professionally produced DVD of an actual staging job. We also include a power point CD

showing the best of our before-and-after pictures. Both extra products are worth $225. The class has a money-back guarantee. If you decide the class was not for you, your investment will be refunded but you can keep the

bonus products.

We love what we do. I am so thankful for 5 years of teaching new business owners how to stage and redesign homes across America. We have de-cluttered thousands of over-pillowed and under-decorated homes everywhere. We have thrown out thousands of "dead" silk ivy plants and

dust-caked ficus trees. We have beautified personality-starved, lifeless homes and added color plus style back to neutral, beige America. We have earned our cape and super-hero status.  

 

When I started, many well-meaning voices suggested that it was probably a fad and not worth the investment of time and money... certainly not worth leaving a thriving interior design job. But they were all wrong.

 

Read below about how to fight for your dream and not let the voices of discouragement defeat you before you even start.

 

 

   

 

BACKSTAGE 

 

    

 

 

While visiting Williamsburg a few years ago, I realized how fragile our country's freedom was in the first few years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.

 

On our last day in the area, we toured the Yorktown village. The monument in the square dates the battle at Yorktown, the deciding battle for our freedom, at 1781. This was five years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Vastly outnumbered, George Washington prevailed with the assistance of the French and this battle ended the war. 

 

 What can we as business owners glean from this history lesson?

 

When we launch our business, get the paperwork done and tell our friends, sometimes the initial enthusiasm wanes. We must stand firm and fight for our dream.

 

 When I started in Interior Design many years ago, one of my co-workers, a super-star, prima-donna designer told me that I was not cut out for this

business. I obviously felt a wave of fear and doubt. As it turned out, I was inspired to prove her wrong. My long commute gave me an opportunity to listen to CD's on success.

 

Business owners all need to fill their spare time reading and listening to motivational speakers and leaders. Some of my favorites:

Brian Tracey

Zig Ziglar

Jim Roan

Les Brown

Joel Osteen

John Maxwell 

 

I will end by saying how much I appreciate all of you who faithfully read this newsletter and love the business of Staging and Redesign. I salute all those working in this wonderful industry. I still keep pinching myself after a staging job... getting paid so well for doing something I love.
